Here at Open Kitchen MCR we are continuing to feed a huge range of people who are vulnerable as part of Manchester’s emergency food response team during Covid-19; working hard to get good home cooked meals in the bellies of those in need. If you read our last recipe for bacon hash, you’ll know we’re about good quality, hearty food that tastes great.
Today, we’re sharing our recipe for a classic mac ‘n’ cheese with a twist. Who doesn’t love this cheesy family favourite? A number of our meals are going to families with young children, so we’re trying to balance super tasty meals that younger children will eat, with sneaking in some good nutrition, which is why our mac n cheese contains lovely green veg, hidden in the cheesy sauce. Here you can see the crazy quantities that go into cooking up this scrumptious comfort dish for 300 people. Why not have a go yourself, scaling down the quantities... or cook it all and have mac ‘n’ cheese to last a lifetime for those cheese lovers (check your freezer space beforehand so you don’t waste any). Remember to tag us in your home bakes @openkitchenmcr and you could be featured on our social media.
Happy cooking from our team at Open Kitchen MCR!
